    FEATURES GUIDE Many subscribers never open the features they pay for. The new "Features Guide" shows every Premium feature on its own page and opens it in the app with one tap.

PLAYER · The radar update interval switch is back on the player: "5 min" standard, or "2 min" with Premium for a smoother animation · Archive playback at 4x and 6x over 24-48 hours no longer stops to buffer - frames load once and the loop runs without pauses FIXES · The alerts layer no longer enables itself when you tap or dismiss an alert notification, and alert areas no longer get darker as you pan · Widgets no longer show "Location no longer available" after a reinstall · Fixed two top crashes: opening a location from a notification or a widget, and the watch face widget on watchOS 10 · Premium features and settings update right after a purchase · The "i" button on the map is no longer cut off Have a question or suggestion?
